2017 YANKEES SEASON THREAD VOL: All downhill from here

[essential1]

Need one more front end starter next year for the dynasty to begin.

Sevy-Tanak-Gray + 1 more. Would beat pretty much any team.

Chance Adams/Justus Sheffield

 

[essential1]

I'm still expecting a big trade eventually.

But yeah one of Chance or Justus will round out the Rotation

 

[onewearz]

yo Gary MURKED that one

dude would rather not **** around this playoff run .... wow

 

[onewearz]

Judge hits #40

if this dude lives up to the hype we got a superstar

Gary needs to be our permanent DH or 1B next year. dude is an absolute MONSTER at the plate

30 HRs and missed a month

 

[essential1]

Can still be a catcher for a good amount of years. He's actually well above average at framing and throwing out runners. So defensively he's still good. The amount of passed balls compared to a normal catcher is really negligible over the course of a season.

The key is figuring out how much to put him at Catcher.

It's just finding a favorable schedule for him that allows him to catch, and stay consistent with it but also giving him a DH game 1-2 times a week

A way to fix any issues is DH by committee instead of a permanent DH.

My idea after next season when it is tough is to use Sanchez, Starlin, and one or two of the OFers since there will be a log jam as rolling DH duties so everyone gets to play, gets consistent at bats and manages their injuries and fatigue

i hear ya, but man this dude is our Albert Pujols, Miguel Cabrera , hate to even include him but David Ortiz

u get my point. this dude's value is with the stick. my man can hit .330 with 40 120 , easy I think ... all I'm sayin is if they tell him hang up the catchers gear it wouldn't bother me one bit ..

 

[essential1]

Romine is a net negative catcher. Not bad at all as a backup, but as an everyday it's bad news.

We'd have to find a new catcher.

 

[onewearz]

U dont need your catcher to hit like this. U need him to worry bout the pitchers and his defense. The hitting is a bonus.

I can live with a catcher hitting .205 but not letting balls go past him constantly

 

[essential1]

Sanchez is better defensively than Romine. Better framer and tossing out runners.

The difference is maybe 5 or 6 extra passed balls over 700 innings.

But I get what you're saying. I just don't think it's necessary to move Sanchez out of Catcher role. Could you limit him a bit more on it? Sure. But not to the point where he no longer catches.

 

[essential1]

Gained a game on the Red Sox. Tuesday's loss feels like so much more of a heartbreaker

 

[macbk]

It is a must that Gary extensively work on his catching in the winter/spring.

I think Chad Green and the story yesterday about Dellin being salty helped pack Dellin's bags for next season. Never thought he liked Girardi , this story in today's paper kinda cemebts that for me. I can see him closing for the cubs, maybe even the Mets if all he wants is to get paid. Im bored at work, humor me

 

[Cashflow]

Felt like we were on borrowed time with Delin after they mad a big fuss about his contract request in arbritation

What's this story you speak of?

 

[onewearz]

Back pg of both Daily News and the Post.

He's burnt with Girardi for the early hook. I'd find it but I'm a lil busy at the moment.

 

[essential1]

He's got 2 more seasons before he's a Free Agent. So if we trade him, we'll be idiots. If he walks, he walks.

But I don't fault him for being mad about getting pulled.

 

[nick.]

A pitcher is always mad when the manager pulls him in the middle of an inning. He'll get over it.

 

[onewearz]

Nobody else gets the feeling things between him and Girardi ain't vinegary ?
